2018 Book Selection Process

Literary Committee / April 1, 2017

The Tucson Festival of Books is known for unique panels, record-breaking crowds and high-volume book sales that entice best-selling authors to attend the Festival each March. We feature authors and books in two programs - Presenting Stages and Indie Author Pavilions.

The Literary Committee is responsible for scheduling all book related programming on Presenting Stages (by invitation only).

While we would love to be able to accommodate every author who is nominated, the volume of requests that we receive is high. The Festival generally is only able to accommodate authors by invitation. If you would like nominate an author or self nominate, unfortunately these have been closed for the 2018 festival. Please look for the opportunity to submit for the 2019 festival in late-summer/fall of 2018. If you have already self nominated for the 2018 festival, we will notify you by mid-November about the status of your self nomination.

Cover all costs associated with travel, lodging, meals, shipping costs, tax remittance, and any / all other costs associated with participating in the Festival (individuals traveling from out-of-state should consider the costs associated with attending the Festival and carefully weigh the costs and benefits of participating in the Pavilion)
